    U.S. Will Defer to Japan on Moving Okinawa Base

    Not until they get serious about self-reliance in foreign and strategy. One thing about you Turks is that you do not let others trample your sense of independence, which in my view is a good thing. But if Japanese do get serious about this moving away from Americans and thinking for their own...

    Countries may vary but most soldiers have a similar thinking frame. :)

    "Initiating a war with Iran will only bring disaster upon Israel."

    Calm down. You are an indepedent economic power, are you not? Then why are you worried for sanctions if Americans give you so much outsourced work? Do you genuinely think they could do that against Chinese? Arms sanctions yes that they will. But they do that to almost every country who does not...

    "Initiating a war with Iran will only bring disaster upon Israel."

    Oh I would not say that, knowing Israelis well. They have much more capability and will to strike hard against their threat than you Indians. Take a look at the list of missions they have embarked on against what they deem as a threat to their country. In fact, their military capabilities have...

    HAL DHRUV

    Funny you ask :). My wife is an Indian and we had a traditional Kashmiri pandit wedding (she being one) also I myself being a Hindu. Apart from wedding, I do visit your country now and then on professional grounds and pilgrimage when time permits. I agree that events like wedding are festive...

    Indian Navy commandos to get Israeli rifles

    Well yes certainly. Although I could argue my case for our SIG SG 550. They would be more effective in standard versions for your regular troops as for your special forces, the more compact SG 552 Commando is a viable option. Both are excellent weapons and I tell this from personal experience...

    U.S. Will Defer to Japan on Moving Okinawa Base

    You know, it is quite an enigma to me as to how come Japanese prime ministers barely last terms continuously. Amongst first world countries, I think they are the only country that changes their leaders so fast and without completing a term.

    Made in India AWACS to roll out in February

    Do you people have any plans to use possible domestic platforms for your AWACs programmes as well? Any projects you have that could act as a domestic platform?

    Indian Navy commandos to get Israeli rifles

    You Indians really seem to have a strong affinity for Israeli weapons, don't you? I can understand the reasons behind it. They are much more cost effective and yet cutting edge than European weapons in general.

    Russian stealth

    Hardworking countries invent things while smart countries master them. That is how superpowers are made.

    Global Observer makes first hydrogen-powered flight

    A successful integration of hydrogen technology into commercial and conventional aircraft would mean a sharp drop in oil prices as numerous economies would prefer going the hydrogen way instead of the through-the-roof prices demanded by OPEC.

    I appreciate your technology but all this ceremoniousness necessary?

    Gates warns China not to underestimate US power

    The statement is quite funny especially when hearing it from Mr. Gates. I was under the impression that the other countries are likely to be underestimated by a ruling superpower. It is very crude of him to issue such a statement. Why would an emerging country underestimate an established...

    "Initiating a war with Iran will only bring disaster upon Israel."

    Any war does not begin with ballistic missiles if you are not aware. That is a very advanced stage of a conflict meaning that When Iranian regime is in utter danger, only then it is likely to use ballistic missiles. One must consider the Israeli doctrine that the moment they feel their end has...

    Turkey, China conduct joint air maneuvers

    Correct me if I am wrong but according to recent reports, Turkey is considering joining South Korea and Indonesia in the KF-X programme.

    Hindu Holy Men Behind Terrorist Attacks!!!!

    And I am not an Indian, just like Pakistanis are not arabs.

    Hindu Holy Men Behind Terrorist Attacks!!!!

    The term 'Pandit' stands for 'priest' equivalent. It does not mean one is holy. The man is as much susceptible to terrorism as any other person is. My only irritation is the irresponsible headline of the article which casts a negative light on a venerable faith. As for accepting terrorism...

    Why are Pakistanis afraid of democracy?

    But religion cannot be used on governance of a state. Brotherhood is possible at family level or locality level but attempting to do so at national level would spell disaster. And one would see radicals and self-proclaimed scholars of religion popping up and controlling the society. The Ottoman...

    Hindu Holy Men Behind Terrorist Attacks!!!!

    An extremely illiterate title for a serious article that belongs to a respectable news edition like The Independent. I cannot imagine a reporter to be more ill-informed than the one having written this article. First of all, anyone donning a saffron robe or self-proclaiming a Sanskrit title does...

    Israel bars AESA radar export to India

    I do not see where is the need for a big country like yours to get so insecure because of a couple of reactions. It is understandable that you are facing the Americans for the first time after years of a more 'equal' level of cooperation with the Soviet Union who is known to be a lesser bully...
